I have my original Apple][ and for a long time when I used it
every day I was able to keep it up with all of the current
technology I needed. I eventually moved to a //c and a Laser 128.
I am wonder how close I can get i to compliance with a //e.
I change the ROMs to the floating point ROMs and it became
effectively a ][+
I added a Videx 80 col card and a lowercase adapter, 80columns
and lower case.
I added a Titan 128k Card.
I added a ZIP chip but there seem to be some issues with that. I
cant get it to complete diagnostics.
I have a 65c02 for the enhanced instruction set.
What steps can I take to make this machine more compatible with
the //e?
The major missing elements AFAIK are the enhanced instruction
set of the 65c02 with the enhanced ROMS and character generator
chip.
Is this a feasible project and if so does anyone want to help?
